Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Among the University’s most redeeming qualities is the fact that, once the novelty of on-campus food begins to stale, there’s no danger of going hungry for lack of alternatives. Price-wise, the options span the spectrum from the good and cheap (Pita Pit, Gumby’s Pizza) to the good and expensive (Coco Bolos, Hibachi Hut) to the really good and really expensive (the posh downtown joint Harry’s). The scope in cuisine is slightly less extensive. Both egg foo young and empanadas con queso are relatively easy to come by, but the absence of Middle Eastern and Indian eateries is a shame.

Where to go hinges as much on attendant circumstances as cuisine preference. If you’ve got a chem test to cram for but would prefer social distraction to actual studying, you can’t do better than the Bluestem Bistro. If you have a night to kill and company to kill it with, Bob’s is your bag. If your parents have dropped in for a visit, it would be remiss of you not to wheedle a dinner at Harry’s out of them. On the whole, cost shouldn’t constitute too formidable an obstacle: assuming you’re not banqueting on caviar and chardonnay, eating off campus is reasonably affordable. The only significant drawback is that many of the major restaurants are some distance from campus. Woe to the wheelless! Woe, and alternately, Pizza Shuttle.

Aggieville

AggieVille is a great place right by campus for shopping, eating out, etc. The only problem is that bars dominate the small section of Manhattan. And many times coupons are lacking in this area of the community for students. So if you are not willing to drive or bike a distance elsewhere in Manhattan, you are limited in choices. BUT that's not to say there aren't some "college friendly" expense places, or that it doesn't offer anything great!

Good Stuff

At K-State, there are many different great places to eat. Of course you have your regular places like Arby's, McDonald's, and Sonic, but there are many other cool places to eat and many discounts too. Aggieville is full of life at anytime, day or night. Lots of great food. Try AJ's pizzeria or So Long Saloon. Lot's of asian restaurants too.

SO Good

I LOVE the places to eat off campus, so much that my freshman year I found myself trying to convince myself it was a good idea to not eat my pre-paid meals provided on my meal plan and pay out of pocket for some Subway or So Long Saloon. If you live on campus Aggieville dining is relatively easy to get to and there are many coupons available for students at many places available.
